Default Little drive to N.Wales today

After some overboosting probs on my car recently, finally sorted on saturday by Bob and John, thanks guys , I took a little trip to N.Wales to confirm everything was ok. Had a look on tom tom 3 to plot a route and found the very minor B4500, so thought I'd give it a go. Luckily nothing was coming the other way along the whole road


Next, it was onto Bala for a packed lunch stop, then home to pick up the kids



The car is faultless, and running better than its ever been. Overtaking was a breeze today, with more power than I know what to do with
Big thanks to Bob and John for all their help, and to prosport in stockport for theirs also

Nothing ray li, just a nice singletrack road over the top of some lovely welsh scenery

Fuzz, on that stretch you could, the rest of it was very twisty and turny, almost through some farmyards at a couple of points too

The road is here, not something I'd like to take a convoy of scoobys down, thats for sure

Just a bit gav, and doesn't affect the handling at all, at least not until past 120, so I'm told

I saw some beautiful scenary yesterday up in Caernarfon/Bangor.
I wish I had a camera.
CW42 mate, is it your choice not to have a wing? TBH, it doesnt look bad without it.
Bit different, thats all.
And, do you know Sonic? Sound chap from your way

John, it is m8, all thanks to you with a little help from bob

gav, you'll have to ask john whether he was on a private track or not

turbohot, yes m8, sold it to a guy in brum, just fancied a change from the biggest wing in the country, to no wing at all. Find it's quite stealthy know, just the noise gives it away
I do know sonic, met him a few times at some meets.
